I am writing a CFFI tutorial, to be integrated into the manual when it is done if the maintainers will have it.
Looks great, you write very well!
A few minor notes:
- You suggest UFFI-COMPAT is not complete. Well, it should be complete
(though likely not bug free). It passes all of the uffi-tests and is known to work with (and find bugs in) a couple of UFFI libraries.
- (defctype :curl-code :int) -- Hmm, using the keyword namespace for
user-defined types. I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Some people have also suggested that using the keyword namespace for CFFI types isn't a good idea either.
I am just a lurker here. But this is definitively something I feel strongly about. No abuses of the KEYWORD package should go unpunished. :)
Please export the relevant symbols from the CFFI package.
